Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold wants to test himself against the best in the world. Well, the best right now is UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Recently, Silva's management team mentioned Rockhold as being the most worthy challenger out there for "The Spider" to face next. On his Twitter account, Rockhold made it known that he would be down for such a match.

I accept ur challenge @spideranderson let's do it

After taking care of Chael Sonnen, it appears that Silva's team doesn't feel like there are many worthy challengers in the UFC right now.
